TILLERS OF THE SOIL.

The Farmers and Cattle Men i'm Counsel.
Yesterday was busy day with the
farming interest, or some Of its repre-
sentatives, in Richmond Committees
were in session the greater part of the
day, both at the Exchange and at Ford's
Hotel, formulating plans Snd preparing
business.
Last night the Farmers Council met
in the Hall of the House Of Dele
gates. The attendance was large and
representative. The bill for the further
ance of the agricultural interests Of
he State, which it is proposed to
press for passage at the next ses-
sion Of the General Assembly, was pre-
scented and discussed, and other matters
Of importance were considered Among
the prominent men in attendance were
Colonel Robert Beverly, Mann Page, A.
r. Venable, Messrs. Potts, Beattie, Rowe,
Lyman, Ragland, Wilkinson, and others
too numerous to mention. The session
will be further continued to-day.
At a conference of the Jersey Cattle
Breeders an organization WIS effected
which, it is thought, will result in great
good to all interested in that industry.
Richmond welcomes these tillers of the
soil, and it is hoped that their delibera-
tions will rebound TO the benefit Of the
entire farming and all other interests of
the State.

4 Damaging Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock, as
a two horse beer wagon was standing in
front of Gus Middendorfs saloon on
Main street near Fourteenth, the horses
took fright and ran off down Main street
After running about half block they
came in contact with the wagon of J. T..
Phillips, jammng it against an cleo
trio pole near by, breaking both
shafts, cutting the harness to pieces,
and springing the running-gea They
continued down Main street, and
when opposite Biliups's undertaking es-
Enlistment just below Fifteenth street,
collided with hack, the property of A.
w CARRIER, breaking two of the springs
The horses then continued their fight
until when between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth, a colored man jumped upon the
wagon, seized the reins, and in a few
seconds brought the horses and wagon to
a stand-Still. The wagon was only slight
ly damaged.

The Old Soldiers Requion at Gettysburg
Hill, July 1th.

The approaching reunion of Picketts
Division at Gettysburg in July will be
different from great many that have
been held heretofore 1t is desirable and
intended if possible that no one but 6oHa
fde members of the Division will partici-
pate. In word, none but old soldiers
are expected to take part. The Executive
Committee will meet in few days and
formulate plan of organization. After
this the matter will be worked up in all
the sections of the State in which the di-
vision has survivors.
One trouble heretofore has been that
the most prominent men and chief chin
ners" on these occasions have been men
who scented the battle from afar and
never left the Notifications of Richmond
or the endearments of Home, Sweet
Home, all during the struggle Of four
years Any man going in this reunion
will have to show his papers. Every
knapsack is liable to be searched, and
non -combatants who were liable 10 ser
vice from 1861 to 1865 will be relegated

ouK NEW FIRE ENGINE.
The La France Tested Yesterday M"
Proves n Success.


Yesterday afternoon was the time set Tor
the trial of the new fire engine recently y,

&c the "Tbird. ,treet engine" NO. D is a
Silsbv rotary. and is stationed on BROOK

At 3:15 word was given to flre-up' IN

engine had ten pounds of steam IN TWO
minutes, twenty pounds; ana IN Tour
minutes and thirty-fye seconds, the gauge
marked one hundred pounds. In nye

The first trial was through 200 feet OF
hose with one and a fourth inche noz-
zle. The streams were thrown out into
the dock. but in consequence OF the wlnd
which was against them, creating an I'M
mense amount of spray, the test was very
unsatisfactory
The next trial was on Eighteenth
street. with 800 feet of hose. The La
France threw a stream 256 feet; NO. D
making a good second, with one OF 2oO
feet six inches No. was practically out
of the contest. Various other tests were
made, all of which proved satisfactory.
The La France is a beautiful piece OF
machinery, capable of throwing a stream
over the highest building in Richmond,
and will doubtlessly be a valuable addi-
ton TO the department.

Death of Mrs. Jane W. Clemmitt-Fune
raj To-day.

Mrs. Jane w. Clemmitt, beloved wife of
Mr.. William II. Clemmitt, departed this
life Monday night at her residence, on
West Main street. Mrs. Clemmitt had
been in bad health for about two years.
During this time all her sufferings
had been borne with fortitude and
resignation. A consistent Christian from
her girlhood, death had no terrors for
her as regards a better life to come Her
only sorrow was in parting with a de-
voted husband and children. Mrs Glenn
mitt was one of that humble class OF
home women that have contributed so
much 10 make the name of mother
and wife honored and revered. A kind
neighbor and friend, her chief delight
was in caring for the happiness Of those
dependent on her love; and in the loss of
so good parent and partner the husband
and children will have hearty sympathy.
The deceased was the mother of Messrs
Charles W. and Edward B. Clemmitt.
Funeral to-day at II o'clock from
Seventh-street Christian church. Friends
will attend without further notice.

Delightful Weather,

Monday and yesterday evenings were
both charming. There was a spring
etherealness about the weather that made
it balmy and pleasant. Broad, Main,
Franklin, and other streets were thronged
with delighted promenaders. The parks
and cemeteries were much visited and
the fashionable drives much patronized.
In the sweet bye and bye we shall, no
doubt, pay for this balminess in sneezing
and coughing, but still it was pleasant
and bright while it lasted, and the ground
hog deserves much thanks even for these
favorable prognOsticatiOns.

RAYMOND as Colonel Mulberry Sellers"


The orchestra and dresscircle of the
Theatre was again packed last night, to
witness Raymond in his master piece,
C0J0nel Mulberry Sellers.
Mr.. Raymond gives to this part the sin
cerity of his intelligence, appreciation,
and artistic instinct, and has therefore
made it so irresistibly funny, 50 complete
a caricature, that it takes all the good Of
him to itself, and leave him quite without
the capability to give distinct form, sur
rounding, and element to the action of
any other character 1t is a masterpiece
of eccentric comedy, sustained by null
tiplicity of delightful details that are as
much Raymondisms as the prescribed
business of the part, and which make up
as well balanced, effective, and entertain
ing performance as any within the sphere
Of comedy.
1t needs no description. In the mem
DRY of the present generation there will
never be but one Mulberry Sellers, and
RAYMOND will be his other name. The
last two nights at the Theatre will fur
nish food for pleasant reflection for many
days to come.
